Internet traffic in Iran increasing | Hacker News

Iran saw a rise in internet traffic as debate swirled around the U.S.-Iran conflict and claims of a possible deal.

Hacker News commenters argued over whether Tehran or Washington had the advantage, and whether escalation or diplomacy was more likely.

The discussion also focused on sanctions, oil reserves, and the risk that pressure could affect Iran’s economy and regime stability.

The Strait of Hormuz and broader regional energy security were seen as key factors in how the standoff could unfold.
